AROUND A GREAT STATE.
Michigan Crops.

For NOvember's crop report, returns
| have been received from 500 correspond
ents, representative $50 townships. Five
| hundred and ninety-siX of these reports
| are from 40S townships in the southern
| four tiers of counties, and 1879 reports are
| from 124 townships In the central eoun-
ties. Correspondents placed the acreage
of wheat in the southern counties at per
cent less and In the state at per cent.
less than In 1886. The condition of wheat
compared on the vitality and growth OF
average years is 93 per cent. in the south
ern counties, 50 in the central and 80 in
the northern, the average for the state be-
ing 93. One year ago the condition In
the southern counties was 100 and in the
state 102. The comparatively low condi-
ton is to be attributed to the lack OF rain
and low temperature in October. The
total number of bushels of wheat reported
marketed in August, September and Octo-
Der is 3,51s,S SAB.
Corn averages i'm the southern counties
80 bushels, in the central 73 and in the
northern A bushels of ears per acre.
This indicates yield in the state OF
about 81 bushels of shelled corn, barley
more than seven-tenths of an average
crop. 1t is next to the lowest average
recorded for this state, the lowest being
in 1883.
The acreage of clover seel harvested Is
81 per cent. Of the acreage in 1886. In
the southern counties it is only a 7S per
cent. yield per acre, while IN the state it
equals the yield in 1886.
The number of acres planted to potatoes
in 1887 was about the same as in the pre-
ceding year, but the yield in the state Is
les than three-eighths of an average crop.
The condition of live stock is below the

Western towns which have a boom
on appreciate the power of the press
The people of Tucson, Arizona, buy
5000 copies of their local paper every
month for the purpose of sending it
abroad, and in addition pay 5000 a
month for special "write-ups." The
town of Lamar, Col, recently paid a
local paper 800 for write up" and
the citizens of Fort Scott, Kansas, have
just spent 81, 0O0i advertising the town.
Hutchns, Kansas, claims to give it's
local paper a bonus of $4,000 a year
for remaining alive and kicking, while
Newton, Kansas, pays its paper S15, 900
year. There is nothing at all i'm
proper in this, as the money is paid for
legitimate advertising. On the contrary
it is very creditable to the citizens of
these towns that they thus encourage
their local papers and at the same time
benefit themselves

An expedition to the Antarctic regions

of knowing why they have so variable
climate, or for some unknown reason,
are pressing the home government to
aid them in fitting out an expedition
for southern exploration. Sir Graham
Berry, the agent general of Austraha in
England, has received instructions from
the government of Victoria to ask her
majesty for $4,000, which, added to a
like sum promised by the colonists
themselves, would be sufficient, it is
thought, to send out an expedition TO
the southern seas from Victoria. As
an evidence Of the serious intentions of
the colonists, there are definite and de-
tailed plans already made, based upon
discussions held for over year past
by the royal institutions and societies
of Tasmania, New South Wales, South
Australia, Qeensland, New Zealand,
Auckland and one or two others. These
plans are to he carried into execution
as soon as effective sanction is given
by the home government. The scheme
drawn up by the Antarctic society of
Australia is of a thoroughly compre-
hensive nature. and includes attention
to all the points on which information
is desired with reference to the South
Polar region. While encouragement is
given to the promotion of the whaling
industry, incentives are held out for the
attainment of rs high a latitude as
possible, and it is stipulated that OPP
portunities shall be afforded to the
scientific staff to add to the knowledge
Of tho meteorology, oceanography, ter
restrial magnetism, natural history, and

"Owen Meredith" the present Lord
Lytton, is engaged in preparing the
posthumous papers of his father, the
celebrated novelist, for publicati on.
Those who have ready "Zanoni' and
the Strange Story" know that the
distinguished writer had paid much
attention to the occult sciences. Now
it appears from his papers that he was
firm believer in astrology and
spiritualism. The present Lord Lytton
says that his father had cast the horo-
scope of Disraeli when a very young
man, and that it came out true to the
very letter. Among his papers are
horoscopes of other great men, some
still living, and verified remarkably,
even by recent events.
